New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie stumped in support of Republican candidates at the Ventnor Public Library on Nov. 1.

New Jersey’s Republican governor has cultivated a national profile, but ahead of Tuesday’s legislative elections, state Democrats are saying Gov. Chris Christie has little sway in turning local Assembly and Senate elections in his party’s favor.

According to an internal memo penned by the state Democratic Committee, Christie’s record at sweeping fellow Republicans into office is among the worst in decades; that figure, compiled by the party, seeks to portray Christie as weak in New Jersey, and point to 2009′s legislative elections, which resulted in the state GOP controlling 42 percent of the Legislature’s 120 seats.

New Jersey Republicans also lost a legislative seat during a special election in 2010. The last Republican governor to have such a poor showing in the state Legislature was Harold Hoffman in 1937, according to Democratic party figures.

The Election Day memo– a popular tactic for rallying the party faithful–predicts that the state GOP will come up short at the polls, despite Christie’s rising national popularity.

“Despite national ardor for a Chris Christie presidential run, voters who know him best have not been influenced by his attempt to generate support for Republican legislative candidates,” New Jersey Democratic chairman John Wisniewski wrote.

He added that Christie has tipped too far to the right while flirting with a presidential run, a move that he says has turned off New Jersey voters.
